Abstract: Autorstwo. Urynkowienie literatury i fantazmat podmiotu autorskiego (Authorship: Commercializing of Literature and the Phantasm of the Authorial Subject) by Aldona Kobus, published in 2021 by Nicolaus Copernicus University Press, presents a complex framework for addres-sing various theories on authorship. Starting from outlining the historical background of the development of the notions of authorship and moving to their redefinitions in feminist critique, the book finishes with an appeal to acknowledge the importance of collective authorship and underlines the role of fandom studies. The book offers an overview of the main perspectives on authorship and can be described as a pioneering study on the subject in Polish cultural and literary studies.
Keywords: authorship; literature; publishing market; feminism; collective authorship; history of authorship
